It updates your svn checkout to the specified svn revision. In this case, r132696, which would provide 1.16.99.901_0. > and how it can lead to building xorg-server-devel @1.16.99.1_3… And in my > home directory I don't have a subdirectory > src/macports/dports/x11/xorg-server-devel. Yes, I don't know where you have your dports checkout. That is where I have mine. You would need to do that wherever you have your svn checkout of dports. > I don't want to build some X server that installs somewhere on my PowerBook > G4 and can't be uninstalled.

There is an archive for the sources, but we don't use that. We use git for the xorg-server-devel port. Assuming you put the correct Portfile in place, you would also need to put the correct patches in place. However, it looks like you're using tarballs for dports. I suggest that you use subversion instead. See https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.subversion For example, do this: mkdir ~/src cd ~/src svn co https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports cd dports portindex Then edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf to contain something like this instead of the existing line: file:///Users/pete/src/dports [default] Then to update xorg-server-devel to r132696, just do: cd ~/src/dports/x11/xorg-server-devel svn update -r 132696 --Jeremy > -- > Greetings > > Pete > > I love deadlines.
